Simple Request (😂) Can I make a Message List that shows messages started by Customers?

Searching these forums, it seems this may be hard.  But it also feels like it should be a fundamental capability: 

 

select * from messages where depth=0 and [that were started by customers]

 

"started by customers" could be determined by

  • email domain is NOT example.com
  • author does NOT have role "Employee"

Is there ANY way to accomplish this? 

  • Maybe the best way to achieve this is for all Employee and Alumni ranks to set them up that they revoke the "Registered" role (which you hopefully have set up on your community for all accounts that finished their initial registration). Then you could simply use this registered role in this query. But there's a bit of a long tail of possible side-effects when going for this approach as some components and access permissions might be set up on your community to check against Registered role.

    Can't think if a better way right now sinceyou still cannot query for "does not have role" in LiQL... ğŸ˜‘
